Who do you turn to for support when you need an emotional boost, motivation or counseling? How do you deal with the complex situations that life sometimes throws at you? Where do you look for answers?
While many millions of us will grapple with various personal problems throughout our lives, a groundbreaking resource providing immediate, discreet and convenient support and guidance for individuals is available for the first time in the UK.
MyMobileGuru.co.uk is the first downloadable mobile service in the world to provide a self-help, motivation and counseling service through professional voice recordings by leading counsellors, psychotherapists and life coaches. The recordings can be downloaded straight to a mobile, landline, PC or laptop computer and can be immediately accessed to help people resolve any of life’s problems.
My Mobile Guru founder, Gary Siva says: “Many people prefer not to reveal their thoughts and emotions to family and friends when they are going through a problem. And to be fair, friends and family often want to counsel, coach or just say the right thing but are not professionally trained to be able to do so. Here is a resource that provides people with professional help in a discrete and immediate manner to enable them to experience better emotional and physical health and wellbeing.”
The library of recordings advises on every topic - from dealing with various emotional issues, fears and phobias, to coaching on health, relationships and sex, money and work issues. Authored by a team of specialists including the UK’s top doctors, psychotherapists, counselors, life coaches, nutritional therapists and other professionals, My Mobile Guru can help you through some of life’s trickiest moments.
Gary Siva continues: “Repetition in listening to a particular recording is what can make the difference to a person feeling that they have successfully resolved their issues. Listening to a recording several times will help you to fully understand the techniques and to absorb the information given.”
So, how can My Mobile Guru help you if…
Your partner is having an affair
When Mandy*, 46 found out that her partner of 12 years had been having an affair, she feared she would never get over the betrayal. If like Mandy, you are dealing with the aftermath of an affair, the My Mobile Guru recording ‘My Partner is Having An Affair’ by [Moira Dadd] will walk you through how to overcome your feelings of loss and betrayal.
The recording will first identify that you may be experiencing one or a variety of symptoms, due to the emotional trauma of your partner’s unfaithfulness. These symptoms might include sleeplessness, panic attacks, unexplained pains, headaches, a loss or increase of appetite, or bouts of uncontrolled anger.
Through a series of positive, motivational statements which are reiterated throughout, the recording will ask the person to focus on taking care of themselves physically, emotionally and mentally. “It may feel that your whole world has been shattered and indeed, maybe it has, but you can get through this and you will build your life again, whether it’s with the same partner or not.”
The recording asks the person to visualise themself in the future, to work out what their needs are and to write those needs down. It then suggests practical ways to enable the person to move on from the relationship by for instance, having a meeting with the partner, admitting their own part in the relationship’s breakdown and owning this and take responsibility for it.

My self esteem and self confidence is low
Peter*, 29 is a market analyst with a large London brokerage. Three months ago, he applied for a promotion in his department but was told he hadn’t been successful. His confidence has slipped to an all-time low and he expresses feelings of doubt and worthlessness.
“Everyone has doubts and fears about their abilities, skills, looks, or whether others will like them.” That is the opening salvo to the My Mobile Guru ‘Self Esteem and Self Confidence’ recording, which helps the person focus on four pillars of self-confidence:
• Building your belief

• Affirmations

The recording takes the individual through practical exercises that help them express and build belief in themselves and their abilities helping them to celebrate their achievements, affirm their abilities and helps them to have the confidence to request feedback.

Being a mum is stressing me out
Emma*, 37 has two young children under 6 years old and is stepmother to her husband’s 12 year old daughter who stays with the family on alternate weekends. She works full-time. Emma has increasingly begun to feel overwhelmed and exhausted, especially because her youngest child’s behaviour has become very challenging.
“Every waking moment, every day is all about dealing with the kids and I’m beginning to resent it. My husband works long hours and while he is verbally supportive, I feel like I’m taking the brunt of this on my own. My kids are stressing me out.”
The My Mobile Guru recording to support mothers who are finding raising their children stressful has been developed to help them regain control of their feelings and the situation. Developed by [Dr. Jenny Smerdon], you are counselled to remember to make time for yourself because it will benefit both you and your children. Carving out quality time for oneself – even a 20-minute power nap per day - is not some thing to feel guilty about.
This recording unpacks the positive feelings associated with motherhood and encourages the person to explore why they are feeling stressed. Practical advice helps the individual to understand that they can regain control by re-establishing rules and boundaries and by being both firm and loving towards their children. Tips are also included such as:
• Establish a routine that incorporates time for you and reflects your needs as well as your children’s.
• Find a space somewhere in your home which can become your sanctuary.
• Do something for yourself each day, be it a small thing such as having a chocolate or going for a run or a big thing such as getting a job if you don’t already have one.
• Enlist support from others to assist you in having time out.
• Try to enjoy parenting and the time you have with your children, remembering it does not last forever.

Erectile dysfunction
Perhaps one of the most difficult subjects for a man or a woman to talk about in an age where almost no topic is off limits and freely discussed is erectile dysfunction. Not surprising then that it is also one of the most popular downloads from the My Mobile Guru website, owing to the discrete nature of the service.
The script explains that when a man loses the ability, even temporarily, to have an erection, they may need psychological bolstering to reassure them. But the effects can equally be as devastating to a partner in the relationship.
Erectile dysfunction is not uncommon and is treatable and the recording makes it clear that there is no shame in getting help from a doctor about it. The recording helps the person to remove all blame. Erectile dysfunction is a medical condition and men attach an enormous amount of guilt and blame to it when this should not be so. Rebuilding their confidence is essential and my recording shows them how to communicate and involve their partner in what they’re facing so that they can move to a place where they feel resolved about it, whatever the outcome.”
